Gowa in South Sulawesi, formerly known as a kingdom of Gowa. From this kingdom emerged a national hero who is called "Rooster from the East, which is Sultan Hasanuddin King of Gowa 14th
The remains of the greatness of the kingdom of Gowa still felt today. Gowa Palace, formerly the only place for the dancers, for skill demonstration in front of the king.
Inner attitude of silence, full of tenderness, dedicated, that's the impression that is implied from the suppleness of movement of these dancers. Pakarena dance brought the dancer is cash dance community in South Sulawesi. Each dancer had to perform the customary ritual called jajatang, with offerings such as rice, kemeyan and candles. It is intended to obtain the smooth throughout the show lasts.
Pakarena local language is derived from the word because that means playing. While science shows empty culprit. This dance mentradisi among people in Gowa who is the former kingdom of Gowa.
It used to be, at the royal ceremonies Pakarena Dance was performed at the Palace. But in its growth, is more popular in the community Pakarena Dance among the people. For the people of Gowa, Dance Pakarena existence can not be separated from their daily lives.
Tenderness dominating impression on this dance. It seems clear to mirror the real nature of women Gowa polite, loyal, obedient and respectful to men, especially towards her husband.
Gentle movement of the dancers throughout the dance is played, nevertheless made it difficult for ordinary people to differentiate the rounds after rounds. Though this dance is divided into 12 sections. The same movement, almost Threaded since the dance began. Motion patterns that tend to be similar in every part of the dance.
Indeed this pattern has a special meaning. Movement in a sitting position, a sign of the beginning and end of the dance Pakarena. Follow a circular motion clockwise direction. Showing the human life cycle.
While the movement up and down, the rhythm of life is like a mirror. Rules of thumb, a dancer Pakarena not allowed to open her eyes too wide. Similarly, leg movements, should not be raised too high. This applies to all dances take place which takes about two hours.
No one if a dancer Pakarena must prepare themselves with excellence, both physically and mentally. Movement in Dance monotonous and tiring Pakarena, a little more cause of women in South Sulawesi, was not so interested menarikannya.
Even many who learned from the children, not a few who then are reluctant to resume when entering the marriage level. But is not the case a Joppong Mak. Old woman who is now entering the age of 80 years, is a classical dance Pakarena conservationists.
He is a maestro of dance is typical of South Sulawesi. He is a master Pakarena. Mak Joppong still willing to meet the invitation. To show that they do Pakarena dancing since the age of 10 this year. Mentioned, the woman is able to dance Pakarena with intact, complete with a dance kesakralannya as portray the tenderness of women Gowa.
Mak Joppong never want to bother with a receipt of payment. Full dedication to this dance, made her willing to accept no matter how big payoff given the Invitor.
Though her husband left behind after his death, his life depends largely on the arts that have long been diusungnya this. But usually, he received a fee of about 500 thousand to 1 million rupiah, to perform all night, including rental costs of clothing and tools.
Body that had eaten old age. increasingly wrinkled skin along life's journey, do not make it retroactive in working with the Dance Pakarena. Even the ability to divide is derived from his father. He is since 1978, teaches Dance Pakarena to the girls at home in the Village Kambini, District Palangga, Gowa.
In his house, which is a stage-house cash Gowa called Balarate, the girls stepped, melengok, mengerakan hands following the movement of the master Pakarena Joppong Mak.
Currently there are six girls who became his protege, and not a penny, Mak Joppong memunggut costs. Dance Mak Joppong felt very sad when one of his proteges into levels of marriage.
Because usually, after marriage, their students no longer pursue Pakarena Dance. A habit of the Gowa, is a taboo and shame, if a married woman to appear in public.
General view is what causes Dance Pakarena as just finished up there. Though not the case for Mak Joppong, Pakarena is a sacred dance that not all women capable of menarikannya. Persistence and patience to make major capital Pakarena Dancer. That's one of them owned by Madame Joppong until now.
Now Dance Pakarena fate as just rely solely on Joppong Mak. In addition he was the only who understands the nitty gritty of this dance, she also was the one who remained faithful to carry the traditional dance ever victorious in the kingdom of Gowa first.
Pakarena dancer, so gentle mengerakan limbs. A reflection of women in South Sulawesi. While the procession tetabuhan called Gandrang Pakarena, as if flowing alone. Hentakannya a rumble, briefly not in line with the movement of dancers. Gandrang Pakarena, is the view of the hard men of South Sulawesi.
Pakarena dance and music retinue Tub winds and storm surge. Light music Gandrang Pakarena not just a dance accompanist. He also as an entertainer for the audience. Beat by four Gandrang voice or drum which sounded a blast pounding ditimpahi tuip-tuip or flute, the pasrak or split bamboo and gongs, so tempting the audiences
The composition of a number of traditional musical instruments are usually played seven men, known as hairy Details. Gandrang player plays a big role in this music. The rhythm of the music that is played entirely dependent on Gandrang blows. Therefore, a player must Gandrang aware that he is a leader and he understands Pakarena type Dance movement.
Usually, other than a sign of a blow to the rhythm of the music for the other players, a drummer Gandrang also mengerakan body especially the head. There are two types of stroke that is known in petabuhan Gandrang.
The first is a blow to the punch Gandrang Gundrung using sticks or bambawa made from buffalo horn. The second is a blow Tumbu who was beaten only by hand.
Rumbling sound came from a number of traditional musical instruments of this of South Sulawesi, so influential to the audience. They were so excited, as if time did not remember the show that usually lasts all night long.
Inipula spirit that makes the players more and more into his music. Time to roll, pounding Gandrang Pakarena continued. But who knows how long Pakarena Gandrang will continue to exist.
His fate is highly dependent on the current dance Pakarena own future as if just being in the hands of Madame Joppong. I hope the young spirit will not fade, along with the rhythm of the music that reflects the hard men of South Sulawesi.
